Update: RED performance on my mid-level system

Happy to say that I'm able to edit, at least in short form, 3 tracks (opacity changes to two of the tracks, color corrections to all three tracks applied) of 4K RAW RED .R3D files at 1/4 resolution in real-time on my fairly new very mid-level Intel i7 930 (without OC), Asus P6X58D mainboard, 12 GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 480 system. Note that I'm planning to invest in the RED Scarlet 8x fixed lens camera, which will produce 3K RAW files, so I may even be able to edit at 1/2 resolution. As you can see from this screenshot, even editing at 1/4 resolution is more than adequate, compared to working with AVCHD, where playback resolution differences are more apparent. Thoughts anyone?

I just installed the Samsung 840 EVO 250 GB SSD in my macbook pro. Let me tell you. This willl change my life. The mbp boots in 15 secs flat in OS X Mavericks and MS office opens within seconds. I have no issues with it so far and love it.
I ran the blackmagic disc speed test and writing 209 MB/s and reading 267 MB/s
My old stock toshiba HDD was doing 30 MB/s
The system profiler is showing :
Link Speed:
3 Gigabit
Negotiated Link Speed:
3 Gigabit
Previously I was running 1.5 Gigabit.
This upgrade only costed $150 and worth it!

  • Safari hangs and poor performance in MBPR (Mid 2012)

    Safari hangs and poor performance in MBPR (Mid 2012)? OS X 10.10.2 is up to date

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. If the Downloads button (with the icon of a downward-pointing arrow) is showing in the toolbar, click it and then click Clear in the box that appears. The download history will be removed. Any change?
    If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
              Stop plug-ins to save power
    Any change?
    Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
    If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
    If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
    Follow the instructions in this support article. Any change?
    Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photos, if it's checked. Any change?
    Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
    If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
    If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

  • Successful update to 10.1 in mid-project?

    I'm near completion of a video project, and I've used Migration Assistant to move my apps and files to a new Mac. Old system was a Mac Pro running Lion and FCP X 10.0.8. I still have the old machine and an HD with backup copies of all my FCP project and event files.
    Trying to decide whether it's safer to work in the old version of FCP in Mavericks, or to update FCP and let it convert the files to its new housekeeping system.
    At worst I'd lose any work I'd done since making the backup of my files, and would have to redo them on the old system. But I'd rather not.
    Has anyone successfully updated FCP to 10.1 in the middle of a project?

    I didn't try updating to 10.1  in mid-project. I would have if necessary, but in your case I can't imagine how that could be a good idea.
    It was a major organizational update, but a very modest feature update. Updating always carries risks, which you have minimized by keeping copies of the app, projects and events on the other Mac. But we can't eliminate all risks (like time expended on troubleshooting) and it's hard to see how going from 10.0.9 to 10.1 would create enough advantages to make it worthwhile.
    Once you wrap up the project, the update itself is quick. However, it will save going down a lot of dead end roads to get a really solid understanding of the new library structure and how it will affect your work. Apple has a good doc on this and there are many free tutorials by solid FCP X instructors such as this.

  • How Open source Flex looks to a mid level developer

    Here is my response to a post Matt made on a blog:
    THe whole post:
    http://blog.simb.net/2009/01/19/take-flex-back-for-the-community/
    @Matt
    1st off thanks, now my input:
    The crux of your criticism seems to be that the process that we use for decision-making is closed its certainly not how we feel
    Unfortuntly, this seems like a case of bad commuication by Adobe and the Flex team. If notable community experts get the impression of closed doors, then *certainly* the rest of us get this impression as well.
    but there has been very little participation from the community so far
    Im a solid dev, and not an expert but I can contribute in things such as testing and low level optimization; But, the Adobe open source site is a galactic disaster and discourages me from getting invloved. It has so many webpages that just go around in circles - filled with text that is verbose, this frustrates me to a great deal. As opposed to somehting straight foreward like:
    http://framework.zend.com/download/latest
    or
    http://code.google.com/p/papervision3d/
    Everything is here and easily notable. I avoid the seamingly endless pages and confusion. If I want to get to the Flex dev mailing list I have to register, then choose the lists, add the lists to my account. go though my account prefs read some directions.. then set up some other preferences..jeeeezzzz. If I want to submit a feature request I am directed to create another login for some Bug and Issue management? HUH? I thought I was submitting a featue request.
    Right on papervisions google HOME page I see Getting started > Papervision3D Mailing List.
    Next when I finially do get to Flex SVN, this trunk. is nothing like I have seen.what IS all this stuff and where do I go to learn about it? There are countless subfolders filled with things I vaguely understand and if I want to learn what it is. where do I go? Is there even a src folder?
    Here is a classic example.
    Flex trunk Read Me:
    http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flex/sdk/trunk/README.txt
    vs.
    Zend Trunk Read me:
    http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/standard/trunk/README.txt
    *What* is the Flex team thinking with this?
    I just spent 5 minutes or so twirling through all these SVN directories and Adobes website and I am clueless. I feel like the project is unessarily complex and disorganized - even if it isnt. This just convinced me to delete my Flex sdk bookmark on my SVN client.
    Adobe just lost one potential contributor to Flex SDK.
    We have another idea that were bouncing around that I hope to share in a week or two but wont get into now.
    Saying stuff like this is what gives people the impression of closed. Why not post these ideas the Flex team has? Even if it is stupid or incomplete
    Thats the whole point.

    Wow, thanks for your response. This is great.<br /><br />I now understand that I had a combination of prejudice and ignorance  <br />when regarding Adobe Open Source. Perhaps my ignorance on these  <br />particulars is something that other devs encounter ( that whole  <br />perception thing ).   I have chatted with people who consider the Flex  <br />SDK and Flex Builder... not the same... but fused together so much  <br />that it'd be just crazy to try and use one with out the other   When I  <br />mention using Flex without Flex Builder.... people get that glazed  <br />over look in their eyes....( FYI I'm a FDT man, but am keeping a close  <br />eye on the new Flex Builder )<br /><br />I'll use Zend as an example ( it's the best that I can come up with )  <br />but I feel like there is a difference between the open source  <br />framework and Zend Studio ( commercial software ). Anyway, I'm really  <br />excited about how you've responded to all this.  I have more ideas,  <br />but Ill sit on them and think it through and get ready for next weeks  <br />meeting.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Alan<br /><br /><br />On Jan 23, 2009, at 1:31 AM, Matt Chotin wrote:<br /><br />> A new message was posted by Matt Chotin in<br />><br />> General Discussion --<br />>  How Open source Flex looks to a mid level developer<br />><br />> I've delayed responding to this because frankly I'm not sure what to  <br />> say for much of it.  The first thing I have to point out is that  <br />> many of the things you mention are related to Flex Builder and not  <br />> the Flex SDK, which is the part that is open source.

  • HT1338 The Software Update function on my iMac mid 2007 with OS X 10.8.2 fails to see new software

    The Software Update function on my iMac mid 2007 with OS X 10.8.2 fails to see new software ,not with /Apple/Software Update or /About this Mac or /System Preference/Software Update, the problem started already with 10.8 and I had to download the 10.8.2 Combo manualy, installation was succesful, but since iPhoto11 (9.4) is now available my existing iPhoto11 (9.3.2) will not detect updates using AppStore or all the other ways, Any idee is welcome.

    Glad you got your Mac fixed. But I hope you realize that an update can always go awry; corrupted download, stray voltage spike in your AC power, even a bug in the Installer of the Update. That's why it's never a good idea to update anything that affects your business for at least a week or even two AFTER the update comes out.
    And this applies not just to the OS Update, it may be even more important with an update to one of the apps you need for your business! 8-| There's hardly ever a valid reason to make an Update while working on a clients task. Certainly no reason to make an Update during the work week. That's what Week Ends are for! LOL!
    Basic rule for the OS Update, for me, anyway, is to NEVER use the Software Update version. I ALWAYS go to the Apple site and download the Combo Updater. It's often much larger, but it's never failed me. Maybe just that fewer people are hitting that server! Who knows? Who cares?
    Second basic rule, WAIT a few weeks to see if there are problems associated with any update. What's the advantage of being the first one on the block with a problem?!
    Third basic rule, try the download a second time. Bits/electrons are very slippery! Some have been known to fall out of the Internet "tubes!"

  • When I installed updates, I got a message that said, "System extension ""/System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used.  Please try reinstalling it, or contact the products vendor for an update."

    I clicked on ok. The box behind said updates were installed and I didn't have any problems.  Is this something that needs attention?  Thank you.

    If it does cause problems or reappears, go to hard drive level/System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext and move the file to the trash. Reinstall iTunes 11.4, which should fix the problem.

    How to improve the query performance in to report level and designer level......?
    Plz let me know the detail view......

    first its all based on the design of the database, universe and the report.
    at the universe Level, you have to check your Contexts very well to get the optimal performance of the universe and also your joins, keep your joins with key fields, will give you the best performance.
    at the report level, try to make the reports dynamic as much as you can, (Parameters) and so on.
    and when you create a paremeter try to get it match with the key fields in the database.

  • Performance monitoring in a multitier system

    Hello,
    Is it possible to identify a session by a service name (for performance monitoring) in a multitier system? I mean, the session of an X user precisely.
    Thank you.

    >
    Is it possible to identify a session by a service name (for performance monitoring) in a multitier system? I mean, the session of an X user precisely. The critical thing here is whether you have control over the code or not - what's
    your situation?
    If you do have control, then instrument your code.
    If not, you can use a monitoring framework - say Nagios - but don't forget the old
    traditionals such as syslogd and logging different component messages to a
    central logging server. Don't neglect the OS native tools. The problem with these
    is that it is difficult to tie one particular session to performance problems.
    Having a test system is also a very* good idea - you can run just one session and
    see exactly what's happening in a given situation. In fact, if you don't have a test system,
    your first* priority after reading this post should be to implement one.

  • Can UCCHECK be performed on already UNICODE migrated system during ECC upgr

    Hi there,
    Can UCCHECK be performed on already UNICODE migrated system during ECC upgrade?
    If NO, why? What is the technical reason?
    Prakash

    Hi,
    first unicode means
    Unicode is a 16-bit code to represent universal character set, which is used to facilitate a better exchange of data between different systems.
    for uncheck
    The transaction UCCHECK is used to find Unicode related issues. You can use transaction UCCHECK to examine a Unicode program set for syntax errors without having to set the program attribute "Unicode checks active" for every individual program. From the list of Unicode syntax errors, you can go directly to the affected programs and remove the errors. It is also possible to automatically create transport requests and set the Unicode program attribute for a program set.
    why you are checking second time.

    Always have backups of your system, clone that you can boot from.
    Boot Camp 3.0 was the last supported. You don't need OEM 10.4.6 DVD and your system with EFI and SMC updates (Aug/Sept 2007) may not like it.
    32-bit version of Windows on EFI-32 will only get 1.9GB RAM.
    Installing 64-bit Windows 7 is a bit harder. Vista pre-SP1 64-bit was the best match for install on my 1,1 and that was 2006-2007.
    The new owner needs to deal with this, not you. And really they are better off with a $400 PC instead. Or use a VM.
    the owner should put in a new SSD for the system and $44 buys 4 x 2GB RAM. Together it will run just fine. 500GB SSD now $250 / $135 250GB. Biggest issue is a video card on these.
    The grey screen - you upgraded the graphic card perhaps.
    Unplug everything. Hit power for 5-10 seconds. Reconnect cables for mouse/kb and power, and monitor. You just reset SMC. Yes there is a small button - pull drive #4 and any controller in top slot #4 to see the SMC motherboard reset button but you don't need to.
    Any PCIe cards can also play a role and factor into XP or Windows not working.
